A LIVELY TImE IN TEXAS.


One of the liveliest campaigns Texas has
to popular vote, on August 4, on the adop-
tion of the following amendment to the State
constitution: 'fThe manufacture, sale and
exchange of intoxicating liquors, except for
medical, mechanical, sacramental and scien-
tiic purposes, is hereby prohibited in the
State of Texas. The legislature shall at the
first session held after the adoption of this
amendment enact necessary laws to put this
provision into effect"
It is declared that the prohibition issue has
given rise to more discussion in Texas than
any issue ever brought before the people.
Those in favor of prohibition live principally
in the thickly populated counties in the
northern part of the State, Dallas and Fort
Worth being the prohibition strongholds,
while Galveston, San Antonio and Ell Paso
are opposed to it. Both sides are making q
printed matter for and against the amend
ment are distributed throughout the State.
The ti-Prohibitionists publish an illustrated
paper in Dallas at the cost of Sc, 900 pei
month, and 10000 copies are distributed each
issue. 1t is generally reported in Texas that
the brewers and liquor men of st. Louis have
sent large sums of money into the State to be
used during the campaign, and the Prohibi
tionists are equally liberal il expending mon
ey, so that the election will be stubborn1y
contested on both sides. Most of the leading
business men of Texas are said to be opposed
to prohibition, but fully two-thirds of th'
| newspapers in the State are in favor of it
| and many leading men are fighting on tha
side.
As usual in such contests both sides appea
| to be sanguine of victory. The Prohibition
lists are claiming a majority of at least %, ,00'
| and some of the most enthusiastic say 100,
| 600. The other side makes similar claims
All that now appears to be certain, however
| to an outsider is that both sides cannot win

The striking shoemakers of Worcester,
Massachusetts, have learned valuable les
son. They realize that one great reason for
the collapse of the strike was ''the army OF
the unorganized, these being in this case
not those who came through Castle Garden,
but Americans born and bred, from back
woods villages and farms" The country
was full of shoemakers who had
minds of their own and preferred to make
their own contracts. Statistics show that
only about one-ffth of the shoemakers of
the country are enrolled in labor organiza-
tions. The rest are free and cannot be con-
trolled by the Knights of Labor.

The Congregationalist thinks that in these
days when religious instruction is eliminated
from the public schools, and when there is a
tendency to relegate the Bible to place
among antiquities of literature, it is both
noticeable and noteworthy that man should
condition the gift of public library build
ing upon the recognition of triune God
and his moral law. The donor is Mr.. Fred
erick H Rindge, a young man of about 30,
who offers the city of Cambridge fine Ii
brary building to cost from $4,000 to $780,
600, with tract of land, part OF which shall
be reserved as a playground, provided five
tablets shall be placed in the building, one
of them having on it these words: "Built in
gratitude to God, his Son Jesus Christ, and
to the Holy Ghost" On another will be the
ten commandments, and the remainder will
have inscriptions of like tenor.

The American Bar" which is not, as its
name might indicate, the organ of the legal
fraternity of this country, but is especially
devoted to the interests of distillers, recti-
fiers, wine and spirit merchants, brewers and
wholesale and retail liquor Dealers" is
'tdown on" the anti saloon Republicans, but
it seems to have some respect for the prohi-
bitionists It says: They have one great
advantage of the saloon. They have lead
ers, men of brains, of cou rage and enthusi-
asm, familiar with the tactics of war. The
saloonists are divided, with no leaders
worth speaking of, every one bent upon de-
Tending his own interest and not caring how
his neighbor fares. The whisky man tries to
hurt the beer brewer, and thus divided and
split up there is no telling what the near
future may not bring forth. Be warned in
time, ere it be too late, ere you will be de-
prived of your weapons and laid low at the
feet of your enemies.

he was to be and what he was TO do, The
ground was frozen TO the depth OF eighteen
inches, but hay was spread over the surface, so
that the three hundred carts that went TO and
fro with material should make no sound. The
men worked silently and willingly, and In the
morning the surprising result was seen.
Strong redoubts looked down on the city and
harbor from the tops Of the two hills. Prob
ablT there never was so much work done in so
short a time. When Lord Howe saw whut had
been accomplished in single night he declared
II. lie was compelled to eyacuate the city, and
thus the first substantial victory was gained by
the Continental army and chiefly by the aid
OF an unskilled and untaught engineer the
cornerstone OF American independepSe was
sid.
Colonel Putnam bore a prominent part In
many Of the great battles of the Revolution.
In I176 he was sent to West Point 10 superin-
tend the erection OF the fOrtihcations there.
The principal fort was built by his own Tegi-
ment under his own direction, and named by
General McDOugal Fort Putnam, and 10 this
day engineers and those proficient in the sci.
cree OF fortiiications from European countries,
are surprised when they see the plans that were
made, and the work that was done by this self
Instructed millwright.
General Washington fully appreciated tho
patriotism und ability Of Colonel ltnam, md
lost no opportunity Of showing his interest In
him, and manifesting his desire 70 aid him.
General Putnam was the originator the
founder, the father OF Ohio. On the 7th day OF
April i7SS, fortyeight eolonlsts, with General
Putnam 10 command, landed az the mouth OF
Mushngum river, and there the State was born.

General Putnam was always interested in
educational and religious matters. No man
would do more TO advance the cause OF learn
ing He was an active spirit in organizing the
first educational institution west Of the noun

diton the Musliingum Academy. The original

high, with archod ceiling. Opposite the door,
inside, was a broad aisle, against which was a
pulpit near the wall. On each side of the pull
pit were number OF benches. The house was
used for the double purpose of an academy
and place for public worship. 1t was opened
as an institution of learning in 1900 and David
Putnam, n graduate OF Yale College, was the
first teacher The original location of the
Musdngum Academy was between the Gov
ernor Mcig's house, which is now occupied by
Judge Follett OF the Supreme Court, and the
Congregational Church. The building has been
moved and now stands on Second street.

Some OF these mounds and earthworks have
been explored and number OF things been

some of them quito curious and ingenius, on

A LOVING SQUIRREL.
Pathetic Illustration of the Intensity of
Animal Affection.

ATLANTA Constitutional
Three years ago Mr.. Jacob Gardner, OF
Bull street, sold "a lady large, black squir-
rel, which had attracted considerable at
tention while at his store, on account of its
unusual size and the beauty of its coat.
The animal became the favorite pet of its
purchaser, and was often given the free
dom of the house, and other liberties not
often enjoyed by its kind when in
captivity were extended to it, Occasion
ally the chatterer left the premises but,
never failed to return when night APP
preached. 1t was the object of almost
constant petting and caressing, and nearly
always slept snuggied up in tho arms of
its mistress. A few days ago the owner
left the city for a few days, leaving the
squirrel mt home. The little animal soon
missed her, and ran from room TO room,
all over the house and grounds, in search
of her, giving unmistakable evidence of
grief. All efforts at consolation on the
part of others were unavailing, and the
squirrel refused either to be comforted or
to partako of food, from time TO time CIV
ing vent TO pitiful little cries indicative Of
grief.
After nearly week had elapsed and IL
became evident that the little sorrower's
death was matter Of only few days, tho
owner was notified and returned home.
Her arrival was greeted with evidences OF
wild Joy by the squirrel, which jumped into
her arms with all the signs Of happiness
that its weakened condition would permit
1t made every effort TO partake OF the
tempting food placed before it, but was un-
able To swallow, and ON the following day,
with its eyes turned almost pitifully into
those of its mistress, IL gasped out It's life
while living In ner arms.
